Greenwich: In the village

Like so many London boroughs, Greenwich too has a large popular market in the center of the village. We browsed, bought some books at a well stocked book stall, and then strolled over to a charming tea shop Ben knew about.

Harry Wick, bookseller

The teashop was entirely English, including a sleek, contented English tabby, although the proprietor was a French ex-pat and the music playing was French chansons of the Trenet era

Farther down the street, a pub filled with rugby fans. We idled out back on the terrasse.
